Tips On Stamping Horween Dublin Leather

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for possible tips on stamping Horween Dublin leather. I currently use delrin stamps from Grey Ghost Graphs, which are great quality... but when I stamp them on dublin or chromexcel, it just doesn't hold. The stamp is used with a mallet, and after a few taps, the stamp will look great, but if the leather folds (I make watch bands) the stamp will barely be visible.

Are there any tips to getting better stamp quality from these types of leather or is this as good as it gets?

I don't know about Horween but I do know that Nigel Armitage puts his maker's mark on British Bridle leather, which is also very difficult to stamp, using a c-clamp. He clamps it down tight between pieces of wood or metal (can't recall which) and lets it set for a period of time. You might ask him for details.
